Jacinta Tegman, the CEO of CRISTA Ministries, says she leads out of her relationship with the Lord - but what exactly does that mean? Simply this: at the end of her term as a leader, the people she led would love Jesus more than they did when she started. As an early riser, Jacinta sees herself as a servant of the Lord and a servant of the mission and staff at CRISTA. With over 1,300 employees across five ministries, she works to create a culture where everyone knows they belong. She relates the experience of working with such varied staff to her childhood with four siblings. They all have different personalities and needs but are one big happy, messy family!

Jacinta had to become comfortable with the leader that God had made her to be, and today she loves living that out at CRISTA. One of the things Jacinta did to help the culture was to move her office into the middle of the activity, so she can know what is going on in the organization. Now that is transformative leadership!

Fun fact: Reverend Dr. Nicole Martin started annually reading through the Bible 20 years ago as a dare from a youth pastor, but it wasn’t until five years ago that she joined the team at American Bible Society. For years God was preparing her heart to love His Word and desire that others would also come to be, as she says, “a Bible nerd like her.” American Bible Society collaborates with other people and ministries to share the good news of the Gospel with the world! Currently, their goal is to reach 7.8 million people with God’s Word and help 100 million Americans engage with the Gospel! 

With God-sized goals like this, Nicole knows that communication is key. And bonus, God knows exactly how He has made her and every other person on the planet – so He knows how to communicate to them individually through His Word! Accordingly, Nicole also works hard to create a culture at American Bible Society that celebrates differences and allows people to feel valued for who God made them to be.

In this show from the most recent CLA Outcomes Conference, we talk with Vicki Harris, Sr. Vice President of Human Resources for Our Daily Bread Ministries. While Our Daily Bread specializes in producing quarterly devotionals (available at ODB.org), it is refreshing to hear that Vicki still finds her morning time with God to be the key to leading a thriving ministry and work environment. She talks with us in today’s show about applying personal revelation in professional settings. 

With offices in 38 countries, Our Daily Bread prioritizes new avenues for the staff and volunteers to grow in their faith, dig deep into Scripture, and thrive. This familiarity with cultivating a positive work culture over great distances served OBD well during the pandemic. They started hosting virtual leadership events for their staff, which were so well received that other people wanted to come. The result? The Mastering You sessions are now open to everyone!

Vicky Harris wants to challenge leaders to grow their character - what a great perspective coming from a leader in Human Resources! May we all take some time to consider this wisdom today.

Some women are constantly dreaming big dreams and others are so busy helping others dream that they forget that God has placed dreams inside of them too. Nadya Dickson, the International Director of the Masters Program for Women, joins us today to talk about taking the time to dream big. Just recently, Nadya hosted a retreat for her members entitled “Wake up, Wake up, Deborah from Judges 4 & 5” a retreat that centered on waking up, rising up, gathering up, and dreaming up.

Plus, we hear from retreat attendees Kim Levings with ReThink You and Sharon Lee from Carolina NonProfit Solutions about how Jesus has disrupted their lives (and businesses) for their good and His glory through this retreat and their time in The Masters Program for Women. If you’ve ever had a dream that got sidelined… you won’t want to miss this show! Oh, and if you’re a Christian woman looking for inspiration and challenge – be sure to check out The Masters Program for Women.

55% of the workforce today is made up of Women. 36% of the population of the United States of America proclaim to be Born Again Believers in Jesus Christ.  That means almost 33 million working women who follow Jesus.  Where do they go for specific discipleship in connecting their faith to their work and living out their calling in their workplace?  There are more and more ministries popping up around the United States specifically focused on the unique needs of the Christian Working Woman. Today we head off to Charlotte NC to talk with Nadya Dickson, National and International Director of The Master’s Program for Women, online at www.TheMastersProgramforWomen.org

Nadya Dickson came from a loving home but it wasn’t until her time at University that she met Jesus.  Over the years she has learned that “practice makes progress”.  This eventually led her to participate in The Masters Program for Women.  During her time of participation as a student in her cohort she was able to write her life mission statement.  She was surprised to discover that helping women was a part of that mission.  She usually found herself resisting women centered activities, especially in her home where she is the only female.  Her mission statement begins “To unleash women to walk in fullness of Christ….”  Wow, what a statement.  After participating as a student, she became a coach and is now the National and International Director for The Masters Program for Women. 

Their 3-year program has a total of 12 full day sessions with a 12-woman cohort, and several individual coaching opportunities to really learn from The Master and create a life mission.  You can find out all of the details at www.themastersprogramforwomen.org . Nadya shared about the opportunity for listeners to attend a 1-hour briefing to decide if this might be your next steps in growth. 

Nadya told us a story about a graduate who has created www.Fashionandcompassion.com and is continuing to help other women grow through this opportunity.  TMPW is idea for women in leadership that want to steward their influence, understand their calling or in a place of preparing or entering transition.

On September 3, 2013, I heard from God; I heard from Him three things that resulted in the mission of iWork4Him. This revelation came after six months of studying Identity and Destiny. Back then it was a workbook study that I went through alone, and then Martha went through it. Now, Identity and Destiny has gone international and our guest today is going to tell us about how you can get involved in what I call the “Bible Study workbook that every Christian around the world should be required to experience”.  Wendie Klem is the Regional Director for The Nehemiah Project in North America and she is leading Identity and Destiny Classes for Women in Business. We can’t wait to hear more about the online launch of Identity and Destiny.

What do you do when you are fed up with the higher education opportunities that are available for a field you are passionate about? You start your own higher learning platform. Sarah Sumner did just that.

After having served for 17 years as a seminary dean (A.W. Tozer Theological Seminary), chair of ministry (Azusa Pacific University) and church staff (Willow Creek Community Church; New Song Church), and having walked with the Lord since age 3, Sarah established a brand new business model, assembled a top-tier team, and developed a Culture Chart to encode the DNA of Right On Mission.  Right on Mission is a new business model for Christian higher education that teaches ministry-minded believers, including those in the marketplace, how to live Right “On Mission.”
